You and I and everyone else were born naked, helpless, unable to speak the language, and broke. Were we born with rights? Not really. We had one or usually two or more slaves to look after us.Were we born with privileges? Most definitely.
Do we have a right to life? It can be easily taken away. Is it not rather a privilege? What people think of as rights, but which can be taken away- food, shelter, clothing, transportation, power, wealth, affection, life itself-all are privileges. What can be taken away was given, therefore a gift. The world today makes much ado about human rights, as you well know. But make a list of them. Any that can be taken away cannot, therefore be rights, but are privileges.
The Science of Man teaching about rights and privileges is a whole new way of looking at life for most people. Do not believe the teaching, but check it out for yourself. Experiment, try to prove it wrong. Pay attention to what's going on here and then determine what are your rights and what are your privileges.
